Whether you're a teacher, therapist, or homeschooling parent, we’re here to equip you with powerful, research-backed strategies to help struggling readers thrive.

We know that reading challenges can feel overwhelming—but with the right tools, learning becomes an adventure! 

"If a child cannot learn the way we teach,
we must teach the way they learn."

Teaching Struggling Readers

Beneath the golden canopy of Yellow Tree Reading Academy, every child’s journey with words is transformed into a vibrant, multi-sensory adventure.

 

Rooted in the Science of Reading and shaped by decades of expertise in special needs education, our academy offers a sanctuary where struggling readers and their teachers, therapists, and home-schooling moms-discover the joy of learning through play, movement, and hands-on exploration.

 

Here, beautifully crafted resources, interactive games, and practical tools invite learners of all ages to build confidence, spark curiosity, and experience the magic of reading in a nurturing, stress-free environment.

 

Step into a world where every leaf whispers encouragement, every game unlocks understanding, and every child finds their path to reading success.

The Tree of Literacy

Essential Components of Literacy Instruction

The Tree of Literacy is no ordinary tree—it is a living map of the reading mind. Its roots sink deep into phonemic awareness and decoding, anchoring learners in the foundations of language.

 

From the trunk of fluency rise the branches of vocabulary and structure, each leaf a flicker of comprehension, each fruit a sign of meaning made. Sunlit by motivation and unlocked by the guiding hand of a teacher, this tree grows not in soil, but in minds—nurtured by practice, patience, and play.

Reading skills are cultivated. 

And when it blooms, reading is no longer a task—it becomes fun, interactive and transformational.

All our resource material, games and courses are based on the Science of Reading and the principles of the Tree of Literacy.

Transform Struggling Readers into Confident Explorers of Language

At Yellow Tree Reading Academy, our mission is to transform the way struggling readers learn to read by equipping educators, parents, and therapists with evidence-based, joyful, and deeply practical literacy tools.

Grounded in the Science of Reading, we nurture fluent, confident readers through a holistic and multi-sensory approach that celebrates the complexity of the reading process.

In an age where worksheets and screen-based games often dominate, we champion the power of hands-on, physical "manipulatives" to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and reinforce foundational skills.

 

Through interactive, tactile learning experiences and thoughtfully designed literacy games, we restore the magic of reading instruction—engaging the eyes, ears, hands, and hearts of children on their journey to literacy.
